Genre categories include art, self-help, biography (I can’t wait to read Heart: a History), humor, nature, and fiction, among others. In addition, the press has an entire section dedicated to translated fiction. These titles that range in style from Israeli thrillers to Brazilian dark comedies, demonstrating a truly varied collection of global stories.
